It was mostly curated by the Product Management team but used all across the company. Different departments including support, and product development also used it but not as extensive as the PM team.
We had 2 versions of socialtext (Internal and External) - You can create private or public workspaces in socialtext. We used the external workspace as our knowledge base and was the to go place for any of our client and employees to learn more about the product features. The internal workspace helped us collaborate on a specific project or a feature. I used the wiki to do a lot of requirements gathering.,Version history - Always keeps the edited versions and one can revert back any time
Creating and Editing an article is very easy and intutive

Search result quality was also not that good

We use Social Text as a platform to air our issues with different departments. We voice our concerns and suggestions so we can help find a solution to the problems we incur on a daily basis. We need to have social text as an app so we can communicate in real time not only during work hours.
